Dadaji is in self pity mood'...Radhika tells him to take medicine and he says no he is ok (I don't know why people avoid medicines when they are in self pity mode'will not taking medicines make everything go under the carpet?)...dadaji asks where is majli bahu (ahh yes your delicate darling) and Barkha answers that (why is Barkha stuck to Radhika?) she is in her room...next question where is Dev? (finally remembered him)...Radhika gives a pointed look and with pain in her eyes says that he is in his room, he has got to know this in this way and stops (I liked her indirect rebuke to dadaji for the open insult that Dev faced, she did it in her nice, soft and sweet way)...and dadaji closes his eyes...In the temple area...the tragedy queen that is Padma is in tragedy mode and dadaji comes and stands behind her...Padma turns and sees dadaji and radhika and barkha standing there...dadaji sees her and has a look that to me means he is asking the now what is she upto...and Padma goes and gives back the kangan to dadaji and says...My lord...when thy bought me to thine humble abode as thine darling daughter in law, you gave me the kara. Thee let me know that this kara is not for thy son's wife but for the daughter-in-law- of this house...but now...why am I writing in Shakepearan English...(sorry friends as soon as I saw melodramatic Padma my language changed'Misti come back...ok I am back now)...well Padma dadaji was actually saying the truth that the bangle was not for the sons wife but for the so called DIL of the house...because sweetie you were not the wife...and Padma continues...I Padma do solemnly swear that for the past 24 years I have fulfilled the pledge that I undertook by going round and round the fire...but now after fulfilling the pledge I have realized that I took a false oath so like a good citizen of the Purohit Niwas I am withdrawing from my post and resigning officially as the designated middle bahu...No why am I writing like a politician? (Sorry folks Misti is backtracking)...and Padma continues that she does not know that what the father-son did was right or not but now all this feels empty for her...dadaji continues'its all time..ravages of time...nothing else (yeh yeh now blame time..then next time blame sun, moon, stars'.then blame that the angel of sunrise on the day you took your decision was not right'.then blame that that the day was not auspicious'but never accept blame dadaji'a pompous hypocrit)'...the tragedy queen continues...maybe you did the right thing (that means she does not mind being the mistress)...but I have only one thought that the women who took my rights, her son has taken my son's rights (arreh...what problem do you mother and son have'what does not belong to you, you expect that to be yours...what a perfect combination these two are'...)..dadaji continues it is not like that...ragedy queen...Padma says ...I know that it is my fault because all this is chayas ..unknowlingly I took away what belongs to her'dadaji s returns..don't talk like this my dil ka tukda...what you got was always yours...of course it was...ou old man... you snatched it from someone and gave it to her and made sure that no one gets to know the truth'.but he didn't say about future..it was the past)....dadaji continues...I say that you are the DIL and that's why you are...and that is why I could not tell you anything (coward)...and Padma continues...what was not under your control I can understand you not being responsible for it ...(but it was always under his control..if he had accepted Chaya then nothing of this sort would have happened)....but why did you let the past come into the presemt..why did you give everything to Dev..I know that I am being selfish (ahh the wounded ego is speaking now...so she is happy comprising with situation but not ready to face the truth...she is one insecure egoistical womesn...but she knows that she is selfish...good'atleast there is some self awareness.)...dadaji says I did it because Dev is the best candidate and Radhika has a strange look on her face'wrinkles appear on her forehead (What is Radhika thinking here? Something is going in her brain...) ...Padma continues that she is not a goddess but a human being (human being...yeh physically yes but emotionally I have my doubts) and she will not accept this decision and will leave and tells dadaji that Rohan is and always will be his grandson so whatever decision he wants to take regarding Rohan he is most welcome to it and Radhika runs...I think to get Dev'what to do with this girl. Oh Virat overhears all this and he is wearing a tshirt 'I like the saying (the game is on now)
Maheshwari in her room thinking of the raj tilak ceremony ...Barkha telling Rohan to shut up and to let Radhika speak the truth...and Rohan tells her to shut up too...and tells everyone that she also told lies and is with Dev (ahhh...Angie they did remove scenes...Radhika did speak up in favour of Dev...this might have happened when Rohan was showing the document during the tilak ceremony..and then barkha also came out in support...then when Rohan manages to change everyone towards himself ,Radhika runs to dadaji for help and implores him to get up...now it makes sens...no wonder something was missing because it is not possible that Dev will be insulted and Radhika will not speak)...anyway badi bahu continues that I am such a fool (that you are ) I employed the wrong person...Virat walks in and tells his mother saying that you should have realized that before getting barkha'badi bahu says...I did it all for you...Virat...oh no you did it 'you did it for yourself because you wanted to be the RPtian (how did he know this?)..and says oh choti ma is leaving, you also better pack your bags...I will fall at dadajis feet and ask for forgiveness...(Nice going Virat)
Padma is taking baby steps and going out and daima enters..what you are leaving middle DIL...Padma I am not middle DIL...I was living udhar ki zindagi (wah wah kya dialgue mara hai Padma ne)....this right belongs to someone else (oh so you are abdicating your position for the rightful owner'good) and Bholu is standing there'I knew it ...Bholu...and says do not go...I know that you are leaving because of me but how can I let my mother go? Ahha the bull lands there...snarling and snapping and shouts...he is not your mother...your mother is that women who took my mother's right (again hallucination)...ahh Radhika is glaring and is disgusted (good keep this up Radhika, you will need it later on to reel back Bholu otherwise I don't know what this chap will do) Rohan continues that why are you doing this drama (arreh again identity problem Rohan baba is suffering from)..and then looks at Radhika and says that you know how to put your right on others properties and then looks at Radhika ( Radhika is his property)...and Radhikas looks of disgust continues...but Dev has got a helpless look and he tells Padma that whatever is yours will continues t be yours...I was an orphan who never knew my mother but you always loved me like your son (when Dev?) ...you never differentiated between me and Rohan (dadaji has a thoughtful look'..this padma will be a problem in future'both Dev and Rdahika think her to be insecure nice sweet lady)....anyway continues that if she leaves then he will really again become an orphan (Rohan is getting furious)..Padma says that no you are not an orphan..this family is your'this property is yours..you are going to be the RP...she never said orphan as one without parents but without family (socities recognition) and material wealth...Dev continues that I cannot become a RP without your blessings...Padma says but you are not to blame 'Dev almost shouts in despair'if is not my fault then do not go (brilliant acting Avinash) Dev is not a person who want to take something from someone , he is a person who gives....anyway Rohan is now smoldering (reminds me of a bull in a ring getting ready to fight)...Rohan starts' your mother managed to woo my father (Dev standing there with a broken look silently crying and Padma turns her head in disgust'why is she disgusted about the language her son used or that fact that her husband belonged to someone else)...Radhika is throwing visual darts at Rohan'(I am getting impressed with Radhika, good work Rubi)'...Rohan is now walking on dangerous ground'looks like bholenath is waking up'..anyways Rohan continues that you did not get peace after snatching my property...Rohan baba excuse me when was this property yours? When you were in Utopia?)...daima looks surprised and Gopaldas has a disgusted look (I like you today)...and Dev is smoldering'Rohan is in a suicide mission and says you didn't get peace after snatching Radhika...Now the volcano will burst...and Dev is furious (so Dev becomes furious when anyone tries to take away Radhika)...it looks like RaDhika is now ready to slap Rohan...(well Rohan is insulting Dev)...Dev calmly walks to Rohan and quietly says with perfect voice control...That Radhika was never yours...but this Rohan he is on suicide mission so he shouts that everyone knows that Rdahika is my wife...Radhika'just look at her...if looks at kill then that is Radhikas look ...Rohan continues that just u saying it will not change anything...Radhika is now furious...but Dev very calmly says...I am telling you for the last time...(talk about controlled rage and that is Dev now) ...and the again Rohan continues and now Dev lets it out and shouts Rohan and holds his collar...Radhika is looking stunned and the family member who had the most disgusted look for Rohans words was actually Gopaldas.
Things I liked...
1) Radhikas soft rebuke to dadaji, her questioning and thoughtful look when Padma asked dadaji that why did he make Dev the RP...her anger at Rohan taunting of Dev...her looks of disgust'...her silent pain at Dev's condition when he was asking Padma to stay back'her stunned looks when Dev shouts at Rohan that Radhika was never his. Perfect acting Rubina. She hardly had any dialogues, but had perfect expressions and her eyes where speaking to convey the thoughts of Radhika.
2) Dev ...creatives wha is going on here? Why is he ehaving like this?Does he think pity is love. Padma felt sorry for him and behaved well with him most of the time and did not much refer to him as the servant...and since he has been thirsting for mothers love he thinks that this is love. By the way I like Avinashs acting ...his despair when Rohan is taunting his mother...and then the slowly build up of anger when Rohan starts to cross his limits. The flash point comes when Rohan says that Rdahika is his...he is furious...but then still controls his anger and quietly tells Rohan to behave and at the end rips it out. Brilliant work Avinash...you and Rubina stole the episode for me today.Hardlly had any dialogues but you two did it.
By the way creatives on Sunday I did not believe that Radhika will not protest when Dev was being humiliated and I also do not believe that Radhika will not go to Dev when he is in this pain...you removed scenes from Sunday ME ...and now you are showing that Dev is in pain and Radhika will not go to him but will go to Padma and dadaji. ...what is happening?
